Customer-Facing Technical Program Manager implementing AI-driven solutions at a UK-based tech startup. Coordinating projects, fostering customer engagement, and driving innovative AI deployments.
Responsibilities
Coordinate multiple workstreams with internal engineers, data scientists, and external customer teams.
Keep everyone aligned — proactively communicate updates, risks, and next steps across functions and time zones.
Unblock issues quickly by finding creative paths forward using the tools, people, and information available.
Lead short-term technical projects to deploy and integrate our AI platform within enterprise environments.
Debug and troubleshoot customer issues in real time — from data ingestion to model inference and API integrations.
Rapidly prototype or configure creative solutions using our existing tools, SDKs, and APIs.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to identify feature gaps and influence roadmap priorities based on field learnings.
Serve as the technical point of contact during deployment or pilot phases.
Translate customer objectives into actionable, time-bound technical plans.
Deliver technical clarity and confidence during high-stakes customer engagements.
Dive into technical details when needed: debug integrations, validate data flows, test features, and write clear engineering tickets or documentation.
Use existing APIs, scripts, and workflows to prototype or patch together practical solutions.
Continuously apply AI tools (e.g., for summarization, debugging, code generation, documentation, or workflow automation) to move faster and smarter.
Build credibility through competence and calm under pressure.
Use soft power to align internal and external stakeholders — whether convincing a customer to adjust scope or persuading an engineering team to re-prioritize.
Frame trade-offs clearly and help everyone focus on what drives the greatest value fastest.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Forward Deployed Engineering, or Customer Engineering roles in SaaS or AI-related companies.
Deep comfort operating across technical and non-technical domains; ability to talk APIs one minute and business impact the next.
Strong debugging and troubleshooting instincts — you don’t stop at identifying a problem; you help find or prototype a fix.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills — written, verbal, and async.
Proven ability to influence, negotiate scope, and align teams in high-stakes, fast-moving environments.
Daily use of AI tools in your workflow; ideally, you’re AI-native — comfortable prompting, automating, and leveraging models creatively.
